Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     I am calling my children to a higher place in Me, far above all principalities and all powers of this world.  This place can only be attained by pure worship, a heart that is focused on Me.  As you worship in Spirit and in Truth, you will begin to be enlightened concerning the times and seasons.  Information, ideas, strategies and plans that will catapult you into My purposes, will be revealed only as you become more intimate through My Spirit.  That is why I have brought My Church, My true Church to the place where change is necessary to step into the higher places with Me.  My people must put a stop to all ungodliness, all religion, all low life earthiness, living by the dictates of the flesh.  I have heard and Am hearkening to the sincere cry of My children to really know Me.  Just know that this fresh encounter with Me requires a change of course in you.  This will be accomplished as you are surrendered.  It will not only come from what you say with your mouth or through much crying, but through a brokenness of your heart.  There is arising within an insatiable desire to be pleasing to Me by simple obedience.  Then as the world around you experiences a series of convulsions and shakings, you too will experience from within yourselves, the same degree of shaking and convulsions in order to rearrange your life according to My purpose.  I Am shaking out of you all strongholds of the flesh, religion, and all ungodliness.
     Once again, My Church will be known as the House of Prayer, and My children will no longer be ashamed to be called holy.  You will be proud to be My royal priests, My holy nation, My chosen generation, and a peculiar people that are called apart and separated.  No longer will you try to assimilate in order to be acceptable to this world.  With joy and gladness you will speak of Our great assignment, to seek and to save those who are lost.  Rejoice in your uniqueness, to finish Our purpose.  I Am coming, no matter what others think, I Am coming!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
       
     I come quickly, so you must hold fast to what you have in Me.  Let no one and nothing rob you or deprive you of your crown.  For My Church must be overcoming and My Bride is heavenly.  I have not chosen a bride from Egypt, but one risen from the ashes of the old and now is a new resurrected Bride.  One that has decided to make My home hers.  This is a called apart and set apart nation.  A holy and royal priesthood that continues to look beyond the temporal and keep their mind on the eternal.  In that day when I gather My own, all that you have done in My Name and all that I have recorded in your name shall unfold.  Your faithfulness shall be rewarded greatly, and it shall be your testimony.  But, dear ones this is not the season for looking at the temporal, the circumstances that presently surround you.  For your suddenly shall come in a moment and all that you see now will be in your history.  The only thing that is stable during all seasons is My Word, it never changes.  It is your compass and guide during transitions, changes, storms and times of trouble.
     As I prepare My Bride, I will purge her with My prophetic rain of power in teachings and in  demonstrations with peculiar signs and wonders.  This will be My Wonder, as you begin to move in new realms of manifestations of faith, as you come out of lethargic and inactive ways.  Those who spend time in the secret place with Me I will give to them a new sense of perspective.  In order that your future will be as clear in view as the past.  You will see these fleeting things from My point of view.  You will know that I Am not only preserving you but I Am also perfecting you.  I know that you live within the confines of time, yet I Am.  I Am neither limited or bound by time, I Am infinite and eternal.  I Am using this season to reorganize thoughts of confusion and fortify what I have built in you.  You must have a 'different spirit', a different attitude of mind in order to posses the territory at this time.  You can not conquer with the old mindset.  You must remember that the 'giants' in the land are nothing but grasshoppers to Me, and that I Am a Warrior.  I will fulfill My good Word to My true Bride in due time.  I Am your Lord and I change not!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     It is now the time of an intensified fruit-bearing, or when the seeds you have sown will be easily seen in your lives.  All who have sown seeds of righteousness, love, and faith will be able to reap a good harvest.  Also, those who have sown seeds of selfishness, disobedience, and unrighteousness will eat the fruit faster than ever before.  The plowman is about to overtake the reaper.  So, be diligent to tend your field and mind what you are sowing in it.  For I desire gardens that overflow with My right doing.   Many have detoured from doing what is right because they have become weary and discouraged, because of not seeing instant results.  To everything there is a season and a purpose and a time.  My time has come for rapid growth.
     I have allowed the wheat and the tares to grow together.  Look and see for yourself, and ask, 'how much wheat have I produced and how much is wild weeds?'  It is time for you to repent of those seeds sown from your own way and your own mind, and clear your garden of the tares.  Sow only wheat that comes from My Word, for that is what will endure.  It is only true wheat that will be gathered to My heart, while all else will be burned.  Remember it is the enemy that sneaks in unawares, and sow tares in the midst of the wheat.   Lies and deception among My Truth.  While you may think that everything growing in you is acceptable wheat, the deceiver knows that this kind of leaven will make the whole lump undesirable for Kingdom purposes.  Deception has come into My people's heart and by believing a lie it causes even the elect to be swayed, because of veering from the Truth.   Your hope must be founded on My Word, which is the only genuine light to reveal the web of deceit.  My good has been evilly spoken of and many of My children can not discern between good and evil any longer.  Do not be dull of hearing!  Lies and deception are trying to intermingle with My Word and bringing forth heresy of the darkest kind.  Be warned, but not alarmed, just turn up the light.
     Magnify your ability to look right on.  Do not look to the right or to the left, keep your eyes on Our goal.  Soldiers that once marched with the righteous on the narrow way have defected.  Perverting their way and encouraging others that have become weak-minded to follow them.  This is when the prayers of the righteous avails much, for you will be snatching some from the fire.  Keep a single-vision, you will see that My light will brighten your steps.  There will be few that will find it and choose to stay there, but you will never be alone there.  Your steps will be brighter and brighter as you walk towards Our greatest days.  Stay deeply rooted in My Word and in your garden you will produce only wheat.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;

     This is the moment that we have been preparing for.  I have placed My men and women strategically as carriers of My fire of the times.  While the enemy's time is culminating, and knowing that it is, he is using every ounce of his power to try to assault My mighty fire-carriers.  My children of valor and integrity that I have anointed to receive all of the fullness of the time, have been purged by this fire.  It seems as if hell itself has unleashed upon them, because of their commitment, but I have lifted up My holy standard that has a great damming effect upon the works of the enemy.  Some are having a difficult time because I have called them to this high calling, yet they are compromising for the temporal, yet not realizing that the enemy knows that their is a distinct difference in their lives.  Many are still letting their flesh rule, and they are torn between total submission to My will and the mechanics of the flesh.  Do you not know that My way is the only way to the high ground of protection and preservation?
     Also, many that I have anointed to preach and teach My Word, still yield to their flesh allowing the soulish realm to hinder the realms that I have opened for all of my children to walk in and be victorious in through persecutions and troubles.  Many look at these men and women as 'preaching' machines, not discerning that they are no longer flowing with Holy Spirit.  It is a heart that is consecrated and dedicated to Me and the Kingdom that I need, not ideas born from human reasoning or understanding.  In order to know in this hour My movements, you must be sensitive to Holy Spirit.  As you begin to repent from trying to go on in your own might, you will find the help from on High, that is most necessary.  No more 'sounding brass or tinkling cymbals', it is noise to My ears.  For the Words that I speak, they are spirit and they are life.  This life comes from My heart and can only be achieved by a continued flow from My heart to your surrendered heart.  From this connection will come a boldness and fearlessness, you will no longer be intimidated by the enemy.
     Now, you must be willing to abandon your comfort zones in order to flow with Me to the next zone.  It may not be familiar to you, but there is no place that I have not been.  I will take you there and help you to assimilate in this new territory.  Do not resist the change.  For many in times past have resisted what they thought was a 'new' thing and perceived that it wasn't Me.  They did not understand that it was not new to me, only to them.  They failed to shift and became stagnant.  Stay hungry and thirsty for more of Me.  As you stay that way you will have to continue to die to self, so that My life may come forth through you.  No matter what happens on the earth, great things are ahead for My submitted ones, even in the midst of all that is seen!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit Declares;
     All who are sensitive to Me and Holy Spirit knows that harvest time is drawing near.  I have allowed the wheat and the tare to continue to grow together until they are ripe to maturity.  The enemy has done his job to deviously slip in My fields and plant tares, it will not stunt the maturity of the genuine wheat.  The false doctrine and false teaching has been uttered with all that is whole and sound.  Side by side lies have been uttered with truth, the true wheat has discerned between what is holy and that which is unholy.  My Word, rightly divided by those of a pure heart and those longing to walk with Me, will remain.  Prayer forms a shield upon the wheat to keep them firmly rooted to My Word without pulling them out when their roots are growing so strongly.  At the same time, prayer, kills and weakens the tares causing many of them to lose hold of the ground of the fields that they have been sown in.  Soon I will call for the tares to be bundled and burned, for My justice demands the end-time separation.  Tares are consumed with the need of friendship and acceptability with the world.   While My maturing wheat knows deep within when the enemy has twisted My Word to accommodate continued confusion and sin, and adultery with the world.  Many false teachers and prophets have twisted My Word to promote their own agenda, by doing so they have lead many that were easily led, astray.  You are genuine wheat when you love Me and my Word.  This keeps you on the strait and narrow path, but the true Way.  Be patient therefore, My children, unto My coming.  I am the farmer of the field and I look and wait for My precious harvest.  I Am giving to you now both the former and the latter rain to moisten and stay revived.  Sensitive to the Lover of your soul.
     This rain is given to give to you more grace, so that you may begin to look deeper inside and appreciate what I Am doing within.  In the places of obscurity, in those unseen places hidden from human eyes, I have been making fuller and richer produce in you.  Many of you are ripe and ready to be squeezed for your destiny in Me.  You are My watered garden, I take care of all that is Mine.  Even now when you seem to be barren, I Am still causing you to produce beyond your own ability, it is now My grace, abounding.  So now I implore you to look beyond the temporal and keep your eyes on the eternal.  It is as you are heavenly minded that then your prayers are extended toward the lost generation, your giving is towards those who can not bring you gain, and your loving is unselfish, more like Mine.  My wheat is then truly rooted to all that matters and that is the Kingdom, not the temporary things of earth.  That is when you will see your greatest potential, when you die to your self, then you will really begin to live in Me.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     We are nearing the last leg of Our time here on this side of earth.  Even now I have spread the curtain open in order that you may see more of My glory.  I Am now opening revelations to you that have been closed, because of the times that We are in.  For all that love Me and My kingdom in the end-time Church age, I am entrusting to you the power of the ages.  You have only been on the fringes of all that I have for you.  Now, because this enemy of Ours has unleashed all evils, I Am releasing to My children revelation power and abilities.  With intensity, the gifts of Holy Spirit will flow like a refreshing river to all that have experienced a 'dry time'.  As the pressures of this age grows darker month by month, so the glory of My Presence will grow in power and in revelation.  All who have loved My Presence more than they have loved their own desires, or their own dreams, and more than their ministries, will I reveal Myself in a more powerful way.  Gifts of Holy spirit will bring forth many miracles, signs, and wonders, and extraordinary gifts of faith.
     I have warned My people many years ahead of the times that would come to try men on the earth, yet I reminded My children that they would be kept from the harshness of this judgment.   This is not My wrath, this is judgment for all who would rebel and reject Me and My Word.  I Am Abba, a loving Father, I do not abuse My children.  I hover over My own to protect them from anything that would try to destroy.  I also allow you to walk through those things that may strike fear in you, in order for you to learn that there is no place that you can go, that I will not be there to keep and preserve you.  I want you to know for yourself that there is no need to fear, with Me on your side.  So now, I Am still waiting for the remnant to pull away from the stained cloth of this world, and the system that has become an idol god to many, even some that call Me their God.  My remnant has yearned for My appearance and still looks with longing for Me.  They are buying up every opportunity to save some souls, for they are always Kingdom minded.  Now the process of remaining pure is not easy.  The fires have been allowed to burn for great purification, so that you might be holy for the Kingdom, and Our business.  Our values and worth far outweighs any temporary hardship, or, temporary pleasure.  You must discard all that hold little or no Kingdom value.  This season will pass and you will see when all clears that you will stand up with more than you had when this all started.  Keep your hands and your eyes on Me, I will uphold you and sustain you.  I Am bringing forth the gold and silver from My great treasuries.  You are My special and unique treasure, My glorious beauty.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
Hear the spirit of the Lord;
     A greater anointing awaits all that put their trust in My ability to cause change in them.  The wine will be fresher and more potent that will flow from My House, for I have kept the best for last.  You will arise from the state that you were in for your transitioning.  In your new position, you will spread out as a mighty oak tree, to provide a covering for others that I have placed in your circle, to show them the same compassion and mercy that I have given to you.  I have lifted you up so that you may be the butler, the preparer of the way for others.  Just as I did for Joseph.  I sent the butler ahead of Joseph in order to open a door for My servant.  Many of My children I have placed strategically in divine placement at this 'time of troubling', to be a door for My prophets, My ministers, and My little ones.  It wasn't your wisdom or abilities that put you there.  You were sent ahead for My reasons.  It was not happenstance, nor 'who you knew', it was because I needed you to do your part.  I have always raised up My children to do their part for the Kingdom, each person's function I have ordained.  When My people cried out for My help, I raised up judges, kings, prophets, and deliverers, at just the right time.  Every ones function is significant to the whole Body of Christ, and each one must be in the correct place, in order to move with agility and with power.  No one can afford to be in the wrong place any longer.  My wisdom is vital at this time.  I will give it to you as you seek and ask for it.  It is My design and plan that will succeed.  We have looked forward to the time that My children would line up with My plan, desiring to see My kingdom come and a longing to fulfill their calling.  It is that time!
     As you see businesses, churches, families, and nations that are going through 'troubling times', there will be a remnant that will stand out.  It will be those who have been in that state of preparation, to be positioned for Me, by Me.  My children have lamented over the missed opportunities, but now they are more sensitive and discerning to My Voice and My ways.  I go before you to make your way clear, so follow Me closely.  As you stick to Me, you will find abilities and capabilities to be able to maneuver on the most confining and inflexible road.  We will perform fully every detail needed to bring all things to completion.  Now stay alert and charge up your prayer lives, declaring boldly My promises for the times of troubles.  This is not the time to sleep, but wake up to prayer.  Wake up watchmen, wake up righteous ones, hear the call to be on alert.  Ask for the Godly way and you will travel My path that I established for you.  I Am your Deliverer and your Provider and I have already gone ahead to give you safe passage to your proper place of position.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
Hear the Spirit of the Lord;
    
     This year will be a time to dig deeper in order to experience the new that I have for you.  There will be rare and unique opportunities available to My children to advance the Kingdom.  It is paramount for you to be attentive, for there will be a blowing away of old issues.  Shackles and bonds will fall off, as you continue to meditate on My promises to you.  Decisions and choices that you make will change your course, so make sure that they are formed from My Word.   Holy Spirit will assist you to stay on My course, far from accusing tongues.  My favor will surround you and crown your year with a bountiful harvest, even the hard pathways will overflow in abundance.  This overflow is in various ways, it will affect the whole man.  All who will abide under My shadow, I will lavish My protection upon.
     I hear your voice as you cry out to Me in the night season, I Am your rescue and your deliverance.  I have chosen you and you are My special possession.  My love for you is passionate and strong, I will not let you down.  I will accomplish My will for you, it may seem impossible now, but there is nothing impossible to Me.  I say to you now, be strong and accomplish the work that I have given you to do.  I Am bringing everything together, for it is time, it is all working according to My plan.  Remain faithful to My plan, for a reward awaits all who run to obtain it.
      Join me as I think on this verse today.  "Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters.  Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.  You must warn each other every day, while it is still "today", so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.  For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ." (Hebrews 3:12-14) Don't let anything move you away from the great foundation of your faith.  I am doing my part to warn my brothers and sisters to keep believing, not to quit.  Faithful to the end, here are a group of synonyms that we should look at to examine our walk to see if we are as firm as we were when we first believed.  Are you, loyal, reliable, affectionate, ardent, constant, dependable, devoted, enduring, firm, genuine, obedient, sincere, steadfast, steady, trustworthy, unchanging, and unwavering, with and to God?  Let's work on being as faithful to God as He is to us.  "Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith.  Don't drift along taking everything for granted.  Give yourselves regular checkups.  You need firsthand evidence, not mere hearsay, that Jesus Christ is in you.  Test it out.  If you fail the test, do something about it.  I hope the test won't show that we have failed.  But if it comes to that, we'd rather the test showed our failure than yours.  We're rooting for the truth to win out in you.  We couldn't possibly do otherwise." (2 Corin. 13:5-8; Message Bible)

Good Morning,
 
Hear the Spirit;
     I Am rallying the heavenly troops to your aid and to help you remain victorious.  You will find that your strength is not small.  You will amaze yourself when you see what is really on the inside of you.  The enemy has been taunting you about your inability to stand, to fight and to win.  Yet, you continue to stand, not in your own might, but in the strength of your God.  Ministering angels are lifting hands that hang low, My Word is being whispered in your ears, just at the right time to carry you on.  Yielding is your strong place now, for as you do you will find a hiding place, yes, a landing place to recover and restore yourself in order to continue.  You will hear My Voice behind you, commanding you to, "get up, stay up, stand up, and fight."  You will know that I have gone ahead of you to place the right steps for your path.  Do not fear, I Am with you!  My course for you is sure, though the way may seem difficult and sometimes treacherous, it will cause in you a developing of confidence in Me.  Every step you will become more aware of Me and My Presence as I lead you.  My love and assurance of you will give you the needed boldness.  I Am your constant Companion, I will not forsake you.  After-wards you will know that it is for your good that you were brought this way.  I want you to learn of Me and learn to take My yoke.  Staying hooked up with Me at all times will bring you through safe passage and the way will yield the promised benefits.
     This is not the time to do nothing.  It is not the time to stop decreeing.  It is not the time to isolate yourself from the assistance of the 'Body'.  Do My Word,speak My Word and do not forsake the assembling of yourself together with believers.  Each member supplies a need.  I have already given it.  I have already supplied your need, so stay the course.  The crooked places caused twisted results and now the straighted way will bring My righteousness in all results.  I know that you do not always see My way as good, but your vision will improve.  You will see that I have extended sight for you.  Your desert will be your oasis, your rough road will turn into your high-way.  Take confidence in Me, I will not fail you. 
 
Love,

P.S. This was a personal word that Father spoke to me as I go through a time of transition.  All of us will go through tough times, or if you prefer, tribulations.  It is inevitable to living in this world.  God reminds me as well as you, my dear sisters and brothers, that he will fulfill His good Word to us.  The personal promises that were spoken to you as well as His written word, He will do.  He reminds us that He is not a man, He cannot lie.  Why would He?  He wants us to learn to trust Him.  He will keep everything that He has promised you, He will lay it aside for you.  Do not give in, do not give up.  If you have slipped, fallen, or mis-stepped, don't stay down.  Do not allow the devil, that liar to accuse you of failure, get up and put him under your feet.  Shout aloud the Word if you have to.  God believes in you too.  He always look for the best in you and He believes the best in you.  He is a good Daddy.  He really does love you.  Believe in His love, it will help you to stay steady no matter what comes.  The best is yet to come for us. "I run for dear life to God, I'll never live to regret it.  Do what you do so well: get me out of this mess and up on my feet.  Put your ear to the ground and listen, give me space for salvation.  Be a guest room where I can retreat; you said your door was always open!  You're my salvation-my vast, granite Fortress.  My God, free me from the grip of wicked, from the clutch of Bad and Bully.  You keep me going when times are tough—— my Bedrock, God, since my childhood". (Psalm 71: 1-6; The Message Bible)

Good Morning,
Hear The Spirit;
     My dearly beloved, I hear and see the tears that you have cried over being broken.  I desire you to know that in these moments, I draw closer to you as a Father does to his child that has been hurt, rejected, or forsaken.  I declare to you that you are My precious one, the apple of My eye.  I will never treat you as those who have hard hearts, have done.  Yet know that their insensitivity is because of their own pain.  Give to them the compassion that they neglected to show you.  Your harvest of love will come back manifold.   Always, always, show My kindness in the face of hurt and pain.  I Am God, and I Am righteous to judge fairly.  I will repay to everyone the seeds that they have sown.  I know the hearts of men, and without Me there is nothing good in them.  That is why I Am constantly wooing the rejected, the downcast, the forsaken, and the one who is least.  I seek to save them from their own self-destruction.  My judgment is righteous and fair.  So, turn your tears of hurt to tears of prayers, uttered for those who have inflicted wounds.  Be like Me in your forgiveness.  Now stand back and see how I will turn what the enemy meant to harm you into your finest hour.  They meant it for harm, but I meant it for good, to save you and to bring you out into a large place.
     There is a fresh season ahead for you.  Most of all I will bring you into the place that I have prepared for you to show forth My glory.  Be sure and know that your gifts will make room for you.  You will not be disappointed with My purpose, trust Me, I will not fail to delight your heart.  I still have great surprises planned for all that put their hope in Me.  You will experience for yourself days of new liberation from pain, hurts, and any form of rejection.  It will be as if you are dancing in the sun, without the threat of rain.  You will know what it is to be covered by My shade of favor.  You will see and know that a divine healing has taken place in your heart.  All that the enemy lied to you about and said that I would not heal you of, I will do it for My pleasure in providing for you.  Stay ready for the changing of the present circumstances, they will be swift and many will stand with wonder at the speed of change.  So do not allow yourself to be overwhelmed or depressed by what you see.  For soon you will not see these enemies in your land again.  Your destiny is one of great hope.   Believe only and you will see!
